Happy Friday, peeps! Only a week until Christmas Eve...are you ready? I am NOT ready, LOL! But I will be! Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week and while I was perusing the winners at Inspired By for my card yesterday, I saw another card by Nora that I really liked; you can see it here. I used the sketch from Atlantic Hearts:
And here's my take on her inspiration:
I used some Smoky Slate DSP for the background, then created a mat of Purple Posy on which to adhere a panel that was stamped with the words from Quiet Meadow as well as embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder. I added some diecuts in Basic White, a butterfly from Positive Thoughts and a wee bit of Black and White Gingham ribbon.
The sentiment is from an upcoming SAB set called Special Moments, which I predict will be very popular! Finally, I added this to the inside; it's from Sweet & Sassy:
Thanks for visiting today!
John's sister sent these pictures in her Christmas card to us this year; it was John's first sailboat!!!
Of course, it wasn't seaworthy, but he said he remembered having a lot of fun building it! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteVery pretty card. I really like the contrasting gray background papers. The bit of color on the embossed panel is really nice too.

Love the color combination on your lovely card. That little ribbon is just the right touch. Pretty cool to build a sailboat at that age!
